Chunibyo's Fanfic

Chapter 97 - Chaos in Celestial Realm.

Hope and Ophiuchus explained the situation of Celestial realm to both Yukino and Lucy, both of them were surprised at the reveal of Spirit King's current condition and all of this was caused by their own foolishness of Playing with the Elcipse gate while having no proper information on the consequences it may deal in future.

"And one more thing, if you had used the 13th gate that time to open the Eclipse gate then this all might've not happened. Cause Ophiuchus's supposed job was to sustain the extra energy from reaching the Celestial realm to the Spirit King." Hope explained further.

Ophiuchus looked at Hope worriedly, "It was okay if you didn't tell this to them. I'm okay with all this." Ophiuchus said as she didn't wanted Yukino to blame herself after hearing all this.

Yukino lowered her face in dejection for her actions in past, "It's all my fault.." she started blaming herself by going in depression as Ophiuchus predicted.

"Yukino!" Hope shouted seriously Making Yukino come out of her despaired state, "If you're gonna blame yourself for this then you better stop doing this cause it's not your fault! it's the lack of knowledge we all had at that time and I didn't tell this all to blame you but to remind you that the same mistakes should never happen again." Hope reprimanded Yukino as she thought it was all her fault cause she's the holder of 13th gate.

"Yes!" Yukino looked straight at Hope in full attention, "This will not happen again! and thanks for the information, I will remember it!" Yukino for some reason was saluting Hope with her right hand placed on her forehead.

[quatz- Army officer, chief Sergeant, General Hope!

hope- fk you.]

by the time Hope and Yukino conversed, Lucy on the other hand was busy analyzing the whole matter, "Then how are we going to save the Celestial realm from the crazed Spirit King? and according to Ophiuchus, the other Zodiac spirits would also go into their Eclipse form in two days, right?" asked Lucy Curiously.

Ophiuchus nodded, "As The Spirits turn into their Eclipse form, the first thing they'll do is run from the Celestial realm cause of the Rampaging Spirit King as he'll try to consume everything which comes in his way until there's nothing left."

"And if the Spirits run out of the Celestial realm in this realm then they'll surely die after 13 days." Ophiuchus explained further.

Lucy panicked hearing all this, "What should we do now!!? how can we save Everyone!? I can't think of anything!" Lucy shouted worriedly while holding her head.

Hope caught Lucy's arms to stop her from worrying too much, "Stop it Lucy, we have to first inform about all this to other Spirits cause probably they don't know this information yet! because the Spirit King is currently sleeping." Said Hope to relax Lucy.

"For now we should go back immediately and look for some helpful knowledge by the time Ophiuchus will go back and inform all this to the other spirits." Hope Continued.

"No, I won't confront the other Spirits as they despise me to their core." said Ophiuchus with a straight face and Continued speaking, "And now that I'm in my Elcipse form, they won't even trust me in the least."

Hope sighed as he can't argue with Ophiuchus on this matter, he decided to confront the other spirits for why they hate Ophiuchus so much, "Okay, for now you should go back then and we'll also go back and search for some solutions as we only have 2 days remaining before the initiation of chaos in Celestial World." Hope continued speaking, "And for the Last remaining Spirit's Wish." Hope now looked at Lucy, "Can we delay it for a while?" asked Hope.

Lucy started sweat dropping all over her body when she heard Hope's last words, "I..I don't know.." said Lucy nervously.

"sigh.. Don't worry, I'll apologize the last Spirit myself and you can blame everything on me for the delay." Hope assured Lucy as the matter right now in their hands is very seriously important.

Lucy nodded, "Okay." but she was still nervous for what Aquarius will do to her when Lucy confronts her.

"Ophiuchus come back." Yukino called back Ophiuchus in her key, "We Should leave now." said Yukino while looking at Hope and Lucy.

Both of them nodded and started walking back to the guild to inform others and find more information on Eclipse gate.

It is now late afternoon with the current time being 15.04 when Lucy, Yukino and Hope entered the guild hall together.

"Oh. Hope and guys, how are y'all back so early?" Erza who spotted the three of them walking inside the guild hall waved her hand at them as she asked the reason of their early return.

"Hope is back!?" exclaimed Mirajane, who was in the middle of handling the bar in the guild hall with her new chef, Red.

"huh.. Young master has returned." Ultear who was Transformed into Red murmured to herself while cooking some stew for the servings.

Mirajane rushed out of the bar corner and hugged Hope tightly, for which Hope received glares of Many male members in the Guild, "Hope .muah.. you back so early? what happened? did you miss me so much?" Mirajane said with a bright smile while countinously kissing hope's cheek.

"Mirajane, I'm getting embarrassed and please stop as there's a serious matter right now in our hands." Hope said shyly with red cheeks as Mirajane kept kissing him on the cheeks, openly in the guild hall.

[hope- someone teach her to hold back in these things.

quatz- do you hold back while c.u.m.m.i.n.g inside her mouth?

hope- tch.. why am I even thinking all this when this guy can hear me.

quatz- hahaha!!]

Erza stepped forward infront of hope when she heard Hope's words, "What's the matter?" Erza asked seriously looking at hope.

....

After some 30 Minutes many people from the guild are gathered as a group in the main hall, Hope is sitting with Red(Ultear) on one of the dinning tables in the guild hall since he is eating his stew.

By this time, Lucy and Yukino are explaining others about the aftermath caused in the Celestial realm by the opening of Eclipse gate. They also explained the future consequences to them if the issue is not dealt properly in time.

Makarov and Mavis were also present with others while thinking about the situation, "To think the role of 13th gate was to suppress the external energy of Eclipse gate from entering the Celestial realm..." said Mavis silently while analyzing the situation and the reveal of unknown new knowledge to them.

"I think we should call ourselves extremely lucky to call out the 13th gate before all this happened. And that too when the Spirit was in it's Eclipse form." said Makarov as he's surprised from this fluke.

Natsu who was standing beside Lisanna spoke up, "How should we deal with this then!? I can't even beat that guy's a.s.s if he's sleeping right now!" Natsu was anxious as he cannot fight the sleeping Spirit King.

Mavis looked at Hope who was currently eating his stew silently, "What does Hope think we should do?" asked Mavis mischievously with a smile, She knew if Hope was being calm right now then he must surely have an solution prepared for this.

Everyone looked at Hope as First master mentioned him, "I think, I should visit the Celestial realm first and see the situation of Spirit King first hand, afterall I don't know anything about this Spirit World and it's King." Hope presented his thoughts.

[quatz- I also want to see the Celestial Spirit realm, we both really have the same type of thinking..

hope- in your wet dreams, asshole.

quatz- HMPH. Tsundere.]

"I guess Hope's right, some of us should visit the Celestial world to see what's going on." Gray who was silently listening all the time, spoke up.

Yukino shook her head to Gray's words, "One day in Celestial world is equal to 3 months here, if we do as Gray Sama said then the people who enter the Celestial realm now will return after 3 months." explained Yukino as Lucy had given her this information earlier which she highlighted in her mind.

Hearing this Mirajane immediately ran towards Hope and hugged his side tightly by sitting besides him, "No! I won't let my Hope leave me for 3 months! No!" shouted Mirajane worriedly.

"Mira-Nee..." Lisanna scratched her cheeks nervously when she saw How much her elder sister is attached to Hope.

"I open thee! the gate of Southern Cross!" Lucy chanted those words as she used a silver key to call out a Spirit.

Soon a Spirit came out of it, the Spirit appears to be an aged celestial spirit. His head beholds a giant metal cross with floral-like golden patterns. He also has a white-haired mustache sprouting from his nostrils that also appears like tiny crosses.

"Lady Lucy, how can I help you today?" asked The spirit while looking at Lucy, his voice was a bit cracking and was similar to an Old aged man.

Lucy looked at the spirit who was levitating in the air above the bar table, "Crux, I want to know about Spirit King, I have come to know many important and crucial matters relating the Celestial world." Lucy explained immediately.

The Spirit named Crux was confused, "As much as I can tell.. Spirit King is sleeping currently and specifically for a while now... is it something related to that?" Crux asked Curiously.

After Hearing Crux's confusion, Lucy started clearing everything to him and in detail cause Crux is know to be the beholder of most knowledge about the Celestial realm, so the more he understands, the more he'll be able to figure out something.

"O..oo..h..cough. cough.." Crux who was silent all the time when Lucy explained him was now out of words due being extremely shocked, "To think that the reason of Spirit King sleeping for so long is this.. means after 2 days, there'll be chaos in Celestial world and that too by it's own King."

"Crux, Is there anything you know about how we can stop all this?" Lucy asked worriedly looking at Crux.

"Thanks for the food." Hope said after finishing up his lunch and This earned him Lucy's furious glare as a serious discussion was going on. Getting the glare, Hope silently walked with his tray towards the kitchen in the bar and also to wash his hands.

"ahm.. Is that the guy lady Lucy is attracted to?" asked Crux, Hope was very famous in the Celestial realm as all the Spirits who Achieved their wishes today were talking mostly about him.

But someone who was not called yet to complete her wish was getting pissed off more and more as every second passed.

"Hm. yes, he is that guy but please come back to the topic." Lucy confirmed Crux intuition.

"Well, as much as I can guess from the current information on Lady Lucy's theory, Spirit King has entered in it's Eclipse form just like the Black gate key Ophiuchus." Said Crux.

Suddenly A huge dark mass of dense Aura was released in the atmosphere Making everyone suffocate due to this and fall on the ground, "what's.. happening..?" Makarov gritted his teeth as his body was stuck on the floor like others, even Mavis who's an illusion was being affected by this.

[quatz- Oi Idiot! stop! what are you doing releasing your Aura suddenly!!?

hope- my bad.]

Hope Immediately took back his Aura as Quatz shouted at him and made him come out of his subconscious state, Hope walked out of the Kitchen and looked at Everyone who were laying on the floor, "My bad." Hope apologized while scratching his cheek.

Hope then specifically looked at the Spirit named Crux, "Old Spirit, you better not refer Ophiuchus as a black key and disrespect her, okay?" Hope said calmly but there was still some rage present in his voice.

'Lady Lucy's boyfriend is dangerous..' thought Crux and again raised himself for hanging back in the air, "I am really very sorry, if my words somehow sounded insolent but I really didn't mean to disrespect Ophiuchus. It's just that the Spirit is normally refered as Black key rather than her name." Crux cleared the misunderstanding.

Hope nodded to his response, "hm. so I might really need to visit this Celestial World once." said Hope nonchalantly.

Crux gulped his Celestial Saliva when he heard Hope's words, which literally sounded threatening even if the voice behind it was calm.

Everyone now had somehow stood up as they were bug-eyed at Hope, No one wanted to speak anything about what happened just now, 'This is what I meant to First Master by inviting a time bomb in the guild!!' thought Makarov while peacefully looking at Hope.

"Old Spirit, Can I enter the Celestial realm without the penalty duration in my return?" asked Hope politely facing Crux. This question peaked everyone's interest and they looked at Crux intently for his answer.

Crux nodded, making everyone smile in happiness who were looking at him, "But the penalty can only be removed by the Spirit King himself as the whole Celestial world is in his control." explained Crux.

"Sigh... so the situation is like do or 3 months penalty and the risk is too high.." explained Mavis.

"Then let's do this, Yukino helps in finding out about some solutions with the help of others and by this time Hope will take some guild members with him to the Celestial World." said Makarov.

"hm. I can agree on this, if we follow this plan then we can get external help from Yukino as she gets some information, by the time I would be analyzing the Spirit King." explained Hope.

"I'll be going with Yukino to help her in gathering information as I have much knowledge on books." said Red who's actually Ultear.

Ultear knows it's not the time to be with Hope to support him but to actually help him externally by gathering more information on reverting this big guy back to normal.

"good." Hope nodded looking at Red before shifting his gaze back at others, "Then I'll take Lucy, Erza and Mirajane, others can help Yukino if they want to." said Hope, he didn't wanted to force anyone if they didn't wanted to help.

"Oi! what do you mean by 'if we want to'!? huh!!? we all are a family and you're part of it now! like it or not! but I'm helping even if you don't want me to!" Gray was annoyed for Hope doubting them if they'll help him or not.

Natsu also had the same feeling but before he could Shout at Hope for not trusting them, gray took the chance to himself.

[quatz- pfft.. hahaha!! partner just got scolded and he cannot even fight back at this!! hahaha!!

hope- ..... they are good people but also very weird.

quatz- ??? did you call someone else weird?.. partner, did you not see your face in the mirror or what? if not then look at the mirror right now!

hope- tch..]

"Oi..? you dozing off again?" Mirajane waved her hand infront of Hope's face as he looked like he went into his daydreaming state.

"No.. No.. I'm awake." Hope said as he came out of his thoughts.

"Other guild members are currently on their quests and might be on their way here soon. I'm sure they'll be very helpful to y'all." Makarov said, as many guild members were not present in the guild right now.

"Yes, Levy might help you guys in searching information eminently as she can translate through ancient languages easily." Mirajane agreed to guild master's words.

Crux looked at everyone who had already started making the plans to save the Celestial world, "Be sure to wear the Celestial clothes first before entering the Celestial realm." Crux reminded them as a normal human can't breath in Celestial World without the magic of it's clothes.

Lucy nodded, "Yes, now you can go back and thanks for the information." Lucy called back Crux into his key and immediately took out another key, "I open thee! the gate of V.i.r.g.i.n! Virgo!" Lucy called out Virgo as she was the one who gave them the Celestial clothes last time.

"How can I help you Lucy Sama?" Virgo bowed slightly like an elegant maid.

"Virgo, we need Celestial Clothes as we are going to the Celestial world due to urgent matters." Lucy explained with a worried smile, She didn't wanted to waste time in explaining Virgo the situation.

"As you wish Lucy Sama." said Virgo.

After this Virgo asked who all were gonna travel in the Celestial world so that she can dress them up with her magic.

Hope, Lucy, Erza and Mirajane were now dressed Up by Virgo's Magic and are ready to leave for the Celestial world.

By this time other members of the guild had moved out in a group to several places to search for the Information, Red suggested that Yukino and him should go to the magic library as they might find some clue there, Yukino agreed to this and they went together.

Natsu and Lisanna also went together to some place to find some information from the knowledgeable people of other Guilds, while Gray waited for the remaining guild members to return so that he could explain them the situation as he was left out alone.

Gray was literally missing the clingy Juvia at this lonely moment of his as she had gone on a quest with Wendy right now.

All the people who were gonna travel into Celestial world stood together behind Virgo as she drew a Magic Circle below them with her Authority which would let them enter the Celestial world without interruption of any sort.

...

Hope and others were now inside the Celestial Spirit World together with Virgo, Currently they were standing on a circled ground which led to a path way made in the space as It seems this place has several different planet-like orbs floating in the air and at first glance, the void appears to stretch on infinitely.

The Whole Celestial realm was shining brightly in many mixed colours and to this Hope and Mirajane were much fascinated, other two which were Erza and Lucy were not much surprised as they had been here previously on the invitation of Spirit King before the grand magic games.

As soon as they arrived, many magic circles were drawn on the marble like glistening floor infront of them, From those magic Circles appeared many Celestial Spirits in which some of them were recognizable to Hope as he met them earlier while granting them their wishes.

The Spirits felt the presence of Humans entering their realm so they immediately came to look at them, Specially the 12 gates of Zodiac as they had somewhat Authority in this place which is second to the Spirit King.

They looked at the humans dressed up in blue Noble clothes who were standing behind Virgo, Some of the spirits recognized who all they were and some did not.

"Lady Lucy, why are you here?" Loki asked Curiously looking at them as he was confused by the sudden visit.

"Oi! brat! why didn't you Summon me to Grant my wish huh!?" Aquarius flew towards Lucy while shouting at her like an delinquent.

Hope stepped infront of Lucy and bowed slightly before Aquarius could reach Lucy, "I'm sorry from Lucy's side as she was not able to Grant you your wish earlier and might even delay it." Hope politely apologized Aquarius for Lucy's sake.

"Huh? are you the brat who's dating Lucy?" Aquarius halted infront of Hope and observed him, "Looks like you are more intelligent than that brat master of mine." said Aquarius as she had an good first impression on Hope.

Virgo now looked at Lucy to get an explanation for all this, "Lucy Sama, may I know why you're here in Celestial world?"

"Before all that, where's Ophiuchus?" asked Hope Curiously as he didn't see Ophiuchus around him when all the Spirits appeared.

[quatz- partner, before All that, I have a doubt, how will you fk this mermaid Spirit? cause I don't see a place for holes on her lower body..

hope- hm.. right.. but let's discuss about this later and btw when did I tell you that I want to fk her?

quatz- no. I have noticed you looking at her pic for a longer duration once when you were masturbating while using the grand magic games album.

hope- quatz!! there's a thing called privacy! how can you talk those things so openly!!? although it's in my mind.

quatz- eh?? I'm your half soul asshole, how's this thing considered open?

hope- ....]

By the time Hope was dozing off, Lucy had made a circle of Spirits surrounding her at a place away from Hope as she had started explaining everything to them. Lucy didn't wanted to disturb Hope in his daydreaming from all her talks, that's why they moved a distance away from him.

As Hope got out of his thoughts, a Magic Circle appeared besides him through which Ophiuchus emerged out and she immediately hugged Hope tightly.

"Hope! did you called for me?" Ophiuchus said cheerfully while hugging Hope, she was very happy that Hope mentioned her first when he didn't see her around.

Hope patted Ophiuchus's head over her Nurse cap as she hugged him, "Why won't I call for my friend when I Don't see her in her own home?" said Hope jollily.

The Other Spirits noticed Ophiuchus's presence and looked at the direction from where it was coming from, They saw Ophiuchus together with Hope and immediately took a battle stance.

"Ophiuchus! get away from Hope!" shouted Loki looking at Ophiuchus and hope with his fists covered in flames.

Hope heard Loki's voice and looked back at his direction and what he saw stunned him, "what... are. you. guys. doing?" hope asked slowly in his state of shock.

"Hope Sama! get away from her now! she looks different from her normal form!" Shouted Virgo as she was worried for Hope.

"It's the Eclipse form which Lady Lucy was stating just now..mooo~" Taurus recognized the form Ophiuchus was in.

Ophiuchus had an doleful face as she stepped back from hope, "I'm sorry." said Ophiuchus as she started moving backwards.

But Hope immediately caught Ophiuchus's hand and pulled her back to him, "Everyone, why are you guys asking me to stay away from her?" Hope looked at the other Celestial Spirits as he asked them.

Hope gripped his hand tightly while holding Ophiuchus's hand, he was a lot worried for Ophiuchus as she was just gonna commit a World level suicide soon if not for Hope stopping it by meeting her through pure luck.

"Yes everyone, Ophiuchus is not a bad person, I want to ask you that why did y'all cornered her aside?" Lucy also asked while specifically looking at her own spirits, she did not wanted to accept the fact that her friends did all this to Ophiuchus without a reason.

"A..about that.. Our instincts scream at us to stay away from Ophiuchus when we look at her, I'm sorry." said Aries looking at Lucy.

Most of them nodded to agree at Aries's words, "Yes Lucy, most of the Spirits in the Celestial world are scared of Ophiuchus due to her immense strength and the dark aura she carries around her when she's in her huge snake form." Aquarius explained further.

"It destroys the balance, cause she's second to Spirit King in this world of ours and her looks threatens us." Libra presented her thoughts.

Hope was starting to get annoyed from Everyone's response but they were also true in their own way, "Sigh... Ophiuchus is not bad.. I guarantee it and if she's bad then consider me bad too." Hope didn't know how to explain the situation so he said whatever he thought straight forward.

Ophiuchus was happy with Hope supporting her but she felt depressed too when he announced himself bad for her, "Hope, I'm okay like this as I am now, at least I have you as my friend." Ophiuchus gave out a warm smile looking at Hope.

All the Spirits looked at Ophiuchus smiling like this and realized that they did something to her was very bad, "Are you really Ophiuchus?" said Mother Pisces who is currently in her humanoid form.

"Yes..." Ophiuchus replied while tiredly nodding her head.

Everyone was confused as they never talked with Ophiuchus and this was the first time they could approach her with an catalyst named Hope.

Hope noticed all the Spirits wanted to talk with Ophiuchus, "Guys, can we do all this later? first hear properly from Lucy for why we are here and lemme give you a small explanation of how serious the matter is, the Celestial world will start destroying in two days. Now enjoy." Said hope nonchalantly.

[quatz- Don't Tell me you are showing off for that mermaid Spirit.. hu? hu? hahaha..

hope- Tch...

quatz- means you were!! the thief is caught!! hahaha!!

hope- S..SHUDDUP!!!]
